_________________________

In 3001, six lords in space try to increase their respective power base. One of them is John O 'Connor, whose role the player takes here. The point is to conquer as many unoccupied or enemy star systems, using his spaceship fleet, which can be increased on other planets through the production of other ships. For the coupled approach and landing on the planet an action sequence must be completed, in which one has to deal with the law of inertia and numerous obstacles. Very similar problems arise in coup attempts in alien star systems: Only with a lot of practice and skill to safely maneuver the ship by whirring around asteroid fields succeed.
Graphics and sound of this (mouse controlled) program are just short of an insult to the Amiga, since even the few digitized black and white little pictures can not save anything. The horrible beeping sound makes the purchase of earplugs required! 3001 also provides for even a few hours of play far too little variety. (Manuel Semino)
